Bingo. Salvation is a gift, it must be accepted through the blood of Christ. He has no idea what he is talking about and he knows it. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. Tell me he is boasting here. His money is his parameter, and he is a fool.

There is a special place for billionaire control-freaks, Mikey, but it ain't in Heaven.

You dont earn your way to Heaven.Roger that. If he persists in that idea, there is a better than even chance that he goes somewhere that he doesn't want to go.

You dont earn your way to Heaven. Indeed, and what he and all earned is damnation. And the liberal ethos esp. means a damned nation.

the fact he says he’s earned heaven tells me he is not going there.

Didn’t Jesus Himself say its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man getting into heaven?
It is also said that God humbles the proud.

Matthew 7:21-23 (New King James Version)
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!
Pride proceeds the fall.

Yes, indeed.
The passage is in Matthew 19:24
Here is an explanation in Dr. John MacArthur’s commentary:
“Jesus is underscoring the impossibility of anyone’s being saved by merit. Since wealth was deemed proof of God’s approval and those who had it could give more alms, it was commonly thought that rich people were the most likely candidates for heaven. Jesus destroyed that notion and, along with it, the notion that anyone can merit enough divine favor to gain entrance into heaven.”
